    242x <how to setup for wake surfing>

    The lateral thrusters were easy, i changed from the thrust vectors, to the thrust vector wake, and that whole install is more of a headache but very doable.

    242x <how to setup for wake surfing>

    Hey, I have the 2017, 242x and mostly agree with above remarks. You will use the center bag as well. The saying is no replacement for displacement. I like the wakebooster better. Never felt any drag, but I know some people do. We have some younger surfers and they like the ladder. When you...

    Movie Reviews - What's your thought about what you've seen?

    just saw The Mule thought it was good, I agree with your grade. Clint plays that old guy well.. I finally just say Spiderman-into the spider-verse was surprisingly good. The look of the animation is very different, which was cool

    Yesterday, tubing with only 50' of rope, riders said there was no spray in their faces. Thanks Will @JetBoatPilot Day before, surfing with stock ballast full on surf side, and 75% on opposite, and 50% in the center, TVW, wake booster, and 6 adults spread around the boat had a GREAT wave...

    JetBoatPilot's New Surf Tech, Thrust Vector Wake

    Got my TVW install done today. Had a question and sent a message to @JetBoatPilot. Was about 5 pm east coast time so I was worried. They called me right away! Will and the crew were super helpful. Greatly appreciated. Got it done, excited to try em out this weekend.

    Wakesurf - what acceleration speed and a ballast question

    Regular is on the port (left) side, goofy is on the starboard side. Usually toe side toward the wave. Until you are better then you can switch.

    Wakesurf - what acceleration speed and a ballast question

    We used same ballast set up as you did, we are all rookies too. Slow accel was too slow, we all use medium if using the pre sets.

    242x ballast bag

    mine did that, there is an inline valve, way down in the engine compartment. Needs to be turned parallel to open position. Supposed to get done in dealer prep... But service dept couldn’t tell me I learned it here.

    242x ballast bag

    Yes! Happened to me last year. Same bag, and the fitting broke. Dealer fixed it under warranty. Was easy and quick. Apparently the hose was not routed correctly which caused the failure.

    Question about the new Snap in full boat Sea Dek Yamaha uses in their new boats.

    I like that I can do both. Usually I leave them in and they dry great, have not had a problem. (I do park inside) But, I can remove 'em and clean underneath or around the edges easier. I have not had problem with being too hot, large bimini and I live in NW Washington. But, even in late...
